\t\t\t\t\"snow<\/a>Typically when snow falls in Denver, it gets back up to 50 degrees within two days, clearing all of the snow from our paths. Unlike the Midwest or the Northeast, the snow doesn\u2019t come and stay for three months. In those areas, homeowners are forced to go out and shovel the snow from their driveways and sidewalks, as they know snow and ice won\u2019t be moving on its own until late March or early April. So, it\u2019s rare that Denver residents are immediately concerned about shoveling snow from their sidewalks, knowing it will melt away, oftentimes within 12 hours.\n\nSometimes, however, the weather report calls for consistent cold temperatures with possible snow for several days, meaning Stapleton residents feel obligated to clear a path on their section of the sidewalk as well as their front and back stairs and porches. \u201cI saw this last break that the weather just wasn\u2019t going to get any better,\u201d said resident Paul Gill. \u201cSo, I put all my stuff on and went out and did some old fashioned manual labor. It actually felt quite good. Like I actually did something.\u201d David Heller shoveled his walk, albeit for different reasons. \u201cMy wife complained and said I needed to get out there and shovel the sidewalk,\u201d said Heller. \u201cI kept thinking it would melt like it usually does, but I guess she was right for once. Glad I did it as there are a lot of icy patches in other places.\u201d\nSome residents just don\u2019t have the patience of Lee Jepsen. \u201cI see all of these people out shoveling their sidewalk after one day,\u201d said Jepsen. \u201cThen, of course, more people after two days, and three days, and so on. The way I was brought up was that good things come to those who wait. I mean what\u2019s the hurry? Eventually, it is going to melt. So, what\u2019s the rush for? Some people just don\u2019t have it. Maybe it\u2019s genetic. I don\u2019t know. What I do know is that I am in no rush to shovel that sidewalk. It will melt. You just have to be patient.\u201d]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
